a Fibre Channel Storage array for Linux, see documentation at

Partitioning Before installing the operating system, the system
storage disk must be partitioned. The enablement kit automates par-
titioning after you select the target disk in some instances, such as
when recovering a pre-configured image with Menu Option 1.
When using Menu Option 2 to install Linux from distributor media,
the enablement kit sets up two EFI partitions that are standardized
across all supported operating systems for HP Itanium 2-based
products.
Note
Selecting the default partitions in your Linux
distributor's installer (e.g. Red Hat's Anaconda) may
overwrite the HP partitions created by the enablement
kit. Create custom partitions when using your Linux
distributor's installer to keep the HP partitions intact
when installing your operating system.
The first partition is 100 megabytes and holds a FAT-16 filesystem
for a boot partition. The second partition is 400 megabytes and
holds a FAT-32 filesystem for optional installation of the offline
diagnostics and utilities that shipped on CD with your hardware.
